Andy Warhol (1928-1987)Queen Elizabeth II, from Reigning Queens (see Feldman & Schellmann IIB.334-337) Unique screenprint in colours, 1985, on Lenox Museum Board, signed and numbered TP 26/30 in pencil, one of 30 colour variant trial proofs aside from the edition of 40 (there were also 10 artist's proofs), printed by Rupert Jasen Smith, New York, with their blindstamp, published by George C.P. Mulder, Amsterdam, the full sheet, in overall very good condition, the colours strong and vibrant, framedSheet 1001 x 799mm. (39 3/8 x 31 1/2in.)Footnotes:ProvenanceBelgravia Gallery, London (with their label).Sotheby's, Old Master, Modern & Contemporary Prints, London, 19 March 2013, Lot 177.Acquired from the above sale by the current owner.In 1985 Warhol produced his largest portfolio Reigning Queens, containing screenprint portraits of the four ruling female monarchs of the day: Queen Elizabeth II, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark and Queen Ntombi Twala of Swaziland. The image of Queen Elizabeth II was based on a photograph taken by Peter Grugeon at Windsor Castle on 2 April 1975 and released to celebrate Her Majesty's Silver Jubilee in 1977. Warhol was fascinated by fame and celebrity. He was the first artist to really comprehend the appeal of celebrity culture and how to harness this appeal to his advantage by producing iconic images of the famous and the glamorous which had an immediate impact and charisma. Warhol's decision to produce an image of the monarch took this up a level. A royal likeness stood apart from other portraits as the ultimate image of fame, celebrity and glamour and was treated with a certain reverence. On the other hand, Warhol was also well aware that this image would be instantly recognizable and attractive to collectors, thereby increasing his own fame by association, notably quoting 'I want to be as famous as The Queen of England'.Having worked as a commercial illustrator, Warhol understood how to present an image to attract attention. He favoured the screenprint process, which produced a precise defined image with hard edges and flat areas of colour, to achieve maximum impact for his radical and glamorous Pop art portraits. The use of this method is pertinent for the Queen as the most depicted woman in the world and indeed the bust length format and vibrant colours call to mind another iconic item of mass production, the postage stamp.Warhol has pared down the original image, removing some of the finer detail which gives character to the face, to leave an inscrutable façade. He has highlighted outlines on areas such as the crown and sash with the Royal Family orders, thus focussing the viewer's attention on the image of Her Majesty as a symbol of royal power; the public face and figurehead of the Royal House of Windsor. In this year of the Platinum Jubilee, we are delighted to be offering a unique version of this screenprint outside the standard edition, which can be regarded as truly iconic, both in subject and within the Warhol repertoire.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A JAPANESE SHIKOMIZUE (SWORD STICK); BLADE CIRCA 1750-1800, MOUNTED 19TH CENTURYthe straight shinogi zukuri blade mounted in a heavy bark covered wooden saya (scabbard), forging and tempering details mostly obscured by rubbing, but a faint notare (wavy) tempering pattern is just visible; nakago (tang) firmly attached in the tsuka (hilt) so any dating or signature cannot be identified61 cm; 24 in bladeBlades from the Kanbun period (1661-1673) and later tended to have very little curvature as can be found on this sword.; ; The sword stick was a popular item for Victorian or Edwardian gentleman to carry, and after 1876 when the samurai as a class were abolished and the carrying of swords was prohibited many older blades were remounted. New poorer quality blades were also made specifically for sword sticks but this example shows details of true forging and was probably remounted as a sword stick for a western visitor to Japan in the late nineteenth century.
A GEORGIAN OFFICER~S COATEE OF THE ROYAL ARTILLERYA fine double-breasted blue coatee of the 1828 Pattern, with scarlet collar, cuffs, piping, skirt lining and turnbacks, the collar, cuff-slashes and skirt-slashes all bearing massive gold oakleaf and acorn embroidery. The skirt-ornaments of a crown above three guns in a bayleaf wreath in gold embroidery. Epaulettes present, with gilt metal crescents and scarlet leather lining, but without badges to the gold lace straps. Minimal moth damage, stitching faults to collar and minor defects to the gold embroidery. Together with sword-slings attached to a white buff baldric fitted with an oblong plate in frosted gilt, mounted with St George~s Cross within a crowned Garter above a massive Thunderbolt; ; Two embroidered coatees were worn by officers of the Royal Artillery: the first from 1828-1831, the second from 1838-1855. The absence of a grenade on the collar of this item, and the style of its skirt-ornaments, strongly suggest that it is of the earlier pattern.
AN OFFICER~S UNDRESS POUCH OF THE 8TH BENGAL CAVALRYthe black patent leather pouch, with flap (now detached) mounted with the Imperial crown and ~BC~ monogram above the figure ~VIII~ and a scroll inscribed ~BENGAL CAVALRY~; ; The 8th Bengal Cavalry were converted to Lancers in 1900. It is therefore possible that this item belonged to the same officer as the owner lot 337.
